Super Bowl III — Jan. 12, 1969 | Miami | Jets 16, (Baltimore) Colts 7

Performers: Florida A&M University marching band.

In the early years of the Super Bowl, pregame ceremonies were more notable than halftime shows. In 1969, entertainer Bob Hope led a tribute to the Apollo 8 astronauts (the first to orbit the moon), and singer Anita Bryant performed the national anthem. The halftime show also got a theme: ''America Thanks.''
